Cardiac surgeons require a great deal of imagery before they operate on a child’s heart. They need to be able to visualize the arrangement of the heart’s components and defects they want to correct before they embark on surgery. For decades, visualization imagery was provided by MRIs and CT scans. Now those imaging technologies are… Learn More

Maintenance welding is an oil and gas industry application
Size matters. To support off-shore operations, for example, helicopters must be big enough to manage adverse weather and able to carry as many as two dozen crew members, plus their equipment, to rigs moored in deep water. However, the opposite is true for fume extractors used for maintenance welding on the rigs. These air filtration… Learn More
New flooring? Concerned about formaldehyde fumes in your home?
If you were exposed to formaldehyde fumes in your workplace, your employer would be required to explain the risks to you and provide appropriate safety equipment. Why? What is Formaldehyde? Formaldehyde is a volatile organic compound (VOC). VOCs are chemicals that, due to their inherent qualities, vaporize readily at normal room temperatures. Formaldehyde, an industrial… Learn More
Controlling ambient dust during soil sample testing
Soil is the bedrock on which we build the world around us. Before highways, buildings or roadways are constructed, the soil must be tested to measure strength, stability, and possible contaminants. Civil engineers, geo-technical engineers, environmentalists and the like rely on these tests to make decisions and plans about if and how to build… Learn More
New artist friend from Adorn Me! liked using our fume extractors in her class
We caught up with Diane Cook as she was finishing a workshop called Rustique Romance. Diane describes herself as a “mixed media jewelry artist/teacher from Texas.” In the workshop, students create pendants that feature a druzy, a stone coated glittering crystals. Solder in the design Among the materials to be used by workshop participants are… Learn More
Respiratory protection from Schaudinn Fixative vapor
Schaudinn’s Fixative is a mercuric chloride-based fluid that is used to preserve the integrity of sample specimens in preparation for analysis. Once specimen fixation occurs, a stain is usually applied to the samples to help in the identification of specific microscopic organisms. While not a complete list, the fields of Parasitology, Cytology and Fecal Sampling… Learn More
A clean air gem for Jewel Day 2015: Manon Doyle
Metalsmith and jewelry maker Manon Doyle regularly reinvents her artistic self. Her first love was painting. Then she worked in glass mosaics for a while, sometimes in three dimensions, like a sculptor. When she was ready to move on from mosaics, she chose enamel work. To learn enameling basics, she attended workshops at Haystack Mountain… Learn More
Commercializing biotechnology? Constraints, constraints, constraints!
Biotechnology entrepreneurs are a varied lot. They may be wringing out a drug discovery process, or developing a medical device that will end up inside the human body, or perhaps creating robotics systems that speed up laboratory tasks. They have the same concerns as entrepreneurs everywhere – keeping expenses in check, retaining key personnel, attracting… Learn More
Economical, adaptive enclosures for simulated pharmacy training
The pharmaceutical industry in America is complex in that multiple agencies, both private and governmental, develop standards and regulations on everything from beta testing new drugs to compounding and selling approved medications. These standards are not only meant to protect the health and safety of end users, but also those who manipulate, manufacture, and package… Learn More
Brewery Labs: Laminar flow hoods aid in aseptic processing of yeast cultures
In an earlier blog post we discussed the use of ductless air cleaners equipped with a specialty-blended carbon filter (50/50 acid gas and activated carbon) for the control of chemical fume during beer bitterness sample testing. While it is important to analyze various quality components of beer in its drinkable state, it is equally if… Learn More
